ME? I am a mother now. I think of my child most of th etime. I spend more time with her. I prepare the day for her and partly for me. I have lessen my movie watching time. I make myself rest more so I would always have a good health.
ME? Before, I'm a happy go lucky person. I love travelling, shopping and hanging out with friends. I love to late at night. I am workaholic too.
BUT . . . Who are you? Long before you became who you are now, what kind of personality or attitude do you have? What are the habits that you usually do? What are the things that make you happy? Share please ...

I have always been the kind of person who just stays at home most of the time. I grew up just being at home, either watching tv or talking long hours with friends on the phone. So when I became a mom for the first time, it was something new yet familiar. Nothing much has changed except for the number of hours that I sleep at night which has lessened. But those happened when my baby was already about 4 months old. Coz I gave birth shortly before graduation. And my mother in law wouldn't allow me to be burdened in taking care of my son especially that my son would be crying at night. She wanted me to just focus my attention on my studies. So it was my mother in law and sister in law who took turns in taking care of my eldest son. But with the 3 other sons I had, it was all my responsibility.

Good to know that you have always love to be a homebody. At least the changes are not so drastic. I am glad you have your mother in law and sister in law by your side when you needed someone most. I am still happy that you finished your education. It a treasure or investment that will never go bankrupt.

Thanks! I really though I won't be able to graduate in time. I have even told my dad that I might not be able to be part of the Graduation March coz I still lack a lot of clinical requirements that time. Good thing that my husband was able to find a lot of patients for us to work on and so we were able to graduate at the expected date.

Me? I'm a full time online chic. I blog, I write, I create websites for a living.
Me, before? I am the eldest daughter. I'm shy. I was emotionally unstable. I don't go out to have fun. I stay at home, stuDYING, reading and doing the household chores.
My life is pretty simple. It revolves around my family. I do everything for them. I sacrifice anything for them.
I am a breadwinner and I'm proud of that. And yes, I'm happy! :)
I appreciate life at its finest!

cool! You own your time. Being with the family and owning your time is good. But I suggest you should also go out to socialize. Going out will also give your more ideas for your blogs and other online activities.

i am the most happiest now that i have ever been. that is because i get to stay home everyday with my family. our children homeschool, so we all get to be with each other everyday. i am also happy that i run my own business and make some extra money every month. i am not that much of an outgoing person and never have been. this is why my lifestyle works for me. i wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

. Good for you. Being with our family is really very important. I was an outgoing person but I decided to be with my family more. My family is my strength and life. I wouldn't trade them also for anything in this world.

i used to be a party girl before.. i love to go out with my friends during my free time.. and i can also say that i am a workaholic person too.. i invest to a lot of gadgets before because i am a techie girl.. but all of it change now.. i am now a stay at home mom and like you i always think of my baby all the time.. all my time is devoted to him and i only got a chance to do other things when he is sleeping.. i seldom go out now and when i have a chance to go out i always make it a point to come back early before my son looks after me.. when my son came my life completely change for the better..

Same here. I love those gadgets too. True. You are right, it's now all about our child. The stage of motherhood needs total commitment to its responsibilities.

I see myself staying at home when I get married :) I see myself changing date nights with friends to waiting for my husband to come home and have dinner with him and attending to our child. Or movie nights with friends to movie dates with only my hubby, or from trips with friends to trips to the nursery or pedia. But I guess I would mind, this is still a prayer that I hope God would grant.
Otherwise, if I will be single for life, I see myself on a mission trip to Africa or India at 40 years old and doing volunteer work.
Right now, I am totally enjoying the travels and adventures with friends, the happy busy ministry life at church, living with parents, not to mention the perks along with it. When I was younger, the free spirit in me is the same, though now I enjoy living on the edge because it gives you a little excitement and the anticipation of results!

You're a mother now, you need to look after yourself well , so that you can stay healthy for your baby girl, she need you there for her all the time, i am sure it is a tough responsibility ahead for you for this moment but at the same time, it is also the best moment in your stage of life where you can enjoy the most out of life; always keep yourself happy and healthy, that is the most critical mission for you as there is always someone very dear there wanting and depend on you now. Have a nice day!

I'm so happy that you are adapting to motherhood and doing the right thing by taking care of yourself. This is showing how you are maturing and will be a great mom to your daughter. I'm retired but about 35 years ago I was in your situation. Had my daughter and was able to stay at home with her for 6 months before returning back to work. She will now be 35 in July and has her own 2 year old boy. Before my girls came along I was a serious but happy individual. Enjoying life and loved shopping and loved reading. Now that I'm retired, I love gardening, reading, mylotting and watching good movies. I also love to go and hang out at the beach and just be able to do whatever I feel like doing everyday. It is a good feeling after working for 32 years and having to get up at times at 3:45am to go to work. Now I get to sleep in till 8:30 or 9:00am if I wish. Good luck with the baby and your future. Just remember to enjoy the moments because babies grow up so very fast. God Bless.

Wow! I wish to be retired after 35 years too and be enjoying my time with grandchildren and nature. Pamper myself and do other things I didn't do.

Motherhood changed the woman in us.
We have so many things left behind for the sake of our kids.
But we never regret doing such, because we love what we are doing now (with our kids)
I can see how happy and excited you are with your little angel

. You are right! My goodness the changes are a lot. Sometimes I'm wondering if I'm ready but when the situation is in front of me I can do it and enjoy doing it. There is a lot I have to discover in the world of motherhood.

Hi,
You are a happy mom. Give your love to your child and make her a good human being. Take care of you and your child.

I am working as an insurance adviser. We can be happy also with very small things in our life. I like to tell jokes and listen jokes and that makes me laugh.

Thanks. I try to be as happy as I could. I love being happy. I am a very talkative person too but I try to be quiet too. I agree, little things can make us happy because they meant a lot.

Hi Lea ! I am who i am ! I lived a simple life. I earn and save a little . I am hard working . I don't go out for parties. I prefer to stay and do online works. I got less friends , i just discovered recently that it is alright to have 1 friend friend only because many friends can't be trusted , most are just there for you because of their vested interest . I can tell now fulfilled you are now as a mother ! The baby gives you a vivid direction in life , a happiness where you've never experienced , a fulfillment beyond compare. Angels are blessings by God , we are lucky if we are given one or more.

. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. I love your words. Indeed my daughter has given me a vivid direction in life. I am enjoying the divine happiness. My baby is reacting now to my voice and she recognizes me already. The feeling is extraordinary. Thanks again.
I hope you would socialize too. I believe that people need people to live longer. I agree that having less is more. As long as your friends are not users for their own welfare, you can have more. But if they are users, one is truly enough.

I'm a mother too. Before I became a mother I would say that I had a lot less responsibility. Thankfully I only have one child though and it still is hard to balance everything I have to get done. I use to enjoy spending time with friends but then when I got married I didn't do that as much because my husband is more reserved. Now I wish I had did that more. But I'm striving to balance all my responsibility and spend time with my daughter.
